The rules of the three sects are meant to restrain each other. Once Xue Buhan takes action, the other two sects will inevitably be alarmed. The super-standard power will cause a chain reaction, and the so-called rules will become a piece of paper by then.
An innate spiritual treasure is worth ten Yuan Shen monks, or even worth far more than that. After all, monks have a lifespan, but an innate spiritual treasure has an infinite lifespan.
Although Su Ming had relatively little contact with Xue Bu Ran, he was no stranger to him. With Xue Bu Ran's crazy temperament, if he found out that his innate spiritual treasure was lost, he would definitely know that it was his plan.
At that time, the Demon Sect has completely entered the game, and its nature has changed. In the melee between the three sects, Dazhou will change from a chess player to a chess piece. In the face of absolute power, all institutions and systems are in vain.
In the records of the three sects, there have been several such examples. In the end, the three sects, the Dragon Clan, and the Monster Clan were all involved, almost breaking the land of Kyushu into continents, just like the Battle of the Gods. , fell step by step, even Daluo Jinxian would be involved and reduced to ashes.
It is precisely because of this that the ancestors of the three sects jointly made an agreement to prevent future generations of disciples from repeating the same mistakes. But once someone overturns the table, others will no longer abide by the rules.
Therefore, we cannot remove all the marks on Yin Yang Taoist yet, lest the people of the Demon Cult go crazy.
In the following time, Taoist Yin Yang completely relaxed the rules of the origin of Yin and Yang for Su Ming to practice.
······
Go to the capital.
The imperial court's defeat in the war made the capital seem to be shrouded in a layer of smoke, making it appear slightly depressing. However, the capital was still crowded with people, busy with traffic, and traders from all over the country came in an endless stream, bringing news from all over the world.
Of course, there are also many spies from various forces, but they are basically ordinary people. As soon as the monks step into the capital city, they will be suppressed by the court's legal network. Their strength is not the same. The higher the cultivation level, the more suppressed they are. Cruelly, over time, even the three major sects evacuated the monks from the capital.
On the surface, the capital is guarded by the law, but secretly there are two Yuanshen monks guarding the four directions. They usually hide in the sky above the capital, monitoring the four directions, and any strange energy cannot escape their induction.
Originally, they were cultivating secretly in the palace, but since the defeat of the Great Zhou Dynasty, various forces secretly wanted to infiltrate the capital, spy on intelligence, and cause riots...
There were even Yuanshen monks attacking the city, wanting to test the strength of the capital's legal network. When Su Ming repaired the capital's legal network, he changed all the formations on the earth line, removing the backdoors and loopholes left when the formation was first established. All made up.
Although the monks' attack on the formation did not cause any damage, it also aroused the vigilance of the Xuanjing Division. Therefore, Li Waner simply sent the Yuanshen monks to guard the capital.
Above the void, an old man with white hair and beard sat cross-legged, his whole body filled with fresh air, majestic and awe-inspiring. Suddenly, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of surprise appeared in his old eyes, "Huh?"
Just now he noticed a strange energy flashing away, but it was not the energy of an evil spirit. He did not continue to meditate, but opened his Dharma Eyes and continued to investigate with the help of the Dharma Net covering the capital.
An invisible wave spread from the ground, sweeping over everyone, from their souls to their bodies, and it was clear that only people within the imperial court system could block this wave.
Thousands of people swept past, and finally his eyes rested on a Taoist in the restaurant. This Taoist seemed to be no different from ordinary people, but he had a carefree and free temperament that was incompatible with the surrounding environment, just like a game in the world. Like a fairy.
But when he saw this person, the old man was a little surprised, because he couldn't see through this person. Either he had a secret treasure, or he was a member of the same path.
Immediately, he separated a clone and turned into a stream of light to sit opposite the Taoist.
"Fellow Taoist, this is the first time we meet, please!" Xiaoyaoyou was not surprised at all by his appearance. With a thought, he took out the wine set from the storage ring and got two glasses of wine, one for himself and one for him.
"To show my sincerity, I'll do it first as a token of respect." After saying that, he picked up the sake in the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
The old man looked slightly worried, but his vigilance still remained, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it. Anyway, the person sitting here was just an incarnation. Even if the contents in the cup were harmful, it would not affect the real body, so he was very generous.
After finishing the cup, the aroma of the wine overflowed, and the faint spiritual energy poured into the spiritual body. It was a great benefit for a monk like him, and it was a rare spiritual wine.
At this moment, the old man became even more curious about him. He took out this extraordinary spiritual wine as soon as he met him. The capital was not a place for leisure. For ordinary monks, this place was no different than a prison. What was the purpose of his willingness to take risks?
"Send Yuanshen monks to guard the capital. The empress is very capable and courageous." Xiaoyaoyou's eyebrows widened when he saw him drinking.
"Fellow Taoist hasn't reported his name yet, it's not easy to live in the capital, so fellow Taoist it's better to be careful." The old man looked stern and tried calmly.
"It's natural. I've forgotten my music and passed it on to others." Xiaoyaoyou announced his name unhurriedly and poured himself another glass of spiritual wine.
After the words fell, a divine light shot out from the old man's eyes. For an instant, the area within a three-foot radius where they were was isolated from the surroundings, as if they were two completely different worlds.
As a monk who relies on the imperial court, the old man has naturally heard of the name of the successor of Zongheng. Three years ago, this person successfully survived the catastrophe of the soul and disappeared. Three years later, he took the initiative to come to the capital. The purpose of this is fascinating. Food for thought.
"Heir of Zongheng, I have admired his name for a long time, but I didn't expect to see him here."
"You must be curious about the purpose of my coming here, right?"
"Yes, I am indeed very curious about the true purpose of the Zongheng descendant who has a long-standing feud with the Kunlun Taoist sect in coming to my capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty." The old man said with a hint.
"Fellow Taoist is right, but this is an old story. The cause and effect between my Zongheng lineage and Kunlun Dao has been settled. Fellow Taoist, you don't have to worry that Kunlun will be angry with me." Xiaoyaoyou looked calm, as if he had expected it.
"Then congratulations to fellow Taoist." The old man's expression was stagnant, and he couldn't believe it. Kunlun resolved his grudges with him so easily?
However, it didn't look like he was lying. Whether this matter was true or false is still open to question. The old man kept it in mind and did not continue to ask.
"Troubles are rising all over the world, a great catastrophe is coming, and practitioners all over the world are fighting to survive. With the support of the Zhou Dynasty, my Taoist friends can be said to be safe and worry-free."
Hearing this, the old man's heart trembled, and he said calmly, "My fellow Taoist, this is wrong. The Demon Sect is determined to destroy me, the Great Zhou Dynasty. With their support, the Xuanyi Army has now occupied one-third of the world. We Even though I am a Yuanshen monk, I am still powerless and unable to stop him. Maybe I will be buried with this great Zhou soon."
At this point, the horse and the horse have been laid out.
Xiaoyaoyou looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "My fellow Taoist, this is wrong. Although the three sects are powerful, the Great Zhou Dynasty is not without opportunities. It is just a demon sect, and it cannot defeat the Great Zhou Dynasty. Things are easy to change in the future. Who can tell the truth clearly?"
"In this case, what is the purpose of fellow Taoist coming to Beijing? Is it because he is working as a lobbyist for some force?"
"Fellow Taoist guessed wrong. I came here today not to be a lobbyist, but because I want to join Da Zhou. I also asked fellow Taoist to recommend me." After talking for so long, Xiaoyaoyou did not continue to beat around the bush. State your intention directly.
After hearing these words, the old man could no longer maintain his calm expression and looked at Xiaoyaoyou again, as if he wanted to see something from him.
Facing his scrutinizing gaze, Xiaoyaoyou accepted it calmly, with a sense of calmness.
"Do you really mean what you said?" The old man stared at Xiaoyaoyou in disbelief. He thought that Xiaoyaoyou had taken refuge in the Three Sects or other forces, and he had come to act as a lobbyist. He never thought that he would come to join the big army. Zhou, this gave him an unreal feeling.
Now Dazhou is an enemy of the Demonic Cult, and he looks like the building is about to collapse, and the situation is critical. If he hadn't been trapped and couldn't help himself, he might have escaped long ago. How could anyone not want to go to this quagmire? Jump inside.
"I would like to take the oath of heaven."
"Now that fellow Taoist has made a decision, I will take you to see His Majesty."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for the introduction!"
······
Not long after, Xiaoyaoyou was brought to Tianshu Pavilion, which is the headquarters of Xuanjing Division. There are countless magic circles set up inside, and even Yuanshen monks are hidden inside. It can be regarded as a safe place in the capital comparable to the imperial palace.
"Fellow Taoist, His Majesty is already at the top of the pavilion, so I won't go in."
"Good work."
Going up the stairs, leisurely and leisurely, still looking leisurely and indifferent. On the top of Tianshu Pavilion, Emperor Yong'an Li Waner was standing in front of the railing with his hands behind his hands, overlooking the capital.
Just now, when she was reviewing the memorial, the secret guard presented her with a secret letter. When she saw the four words "Zongheng Heiren", Li Waner felt a little surprised in her heart. However, after learning that he was a Yuanshen monk, Li Waner did not hesitate and set off immediately. Arrive at Tianshu Pavilion.
The national master Pudu Cihang was away, and Dazhou lost two more Yuan Shen monks on the battlefield. It was a time when high-end combat power was urgently needed, so Li Waner would not neglect it.
Three years later, a familiar figure came into view, gradually overlapping with the person in his memory. However, Xiaoyaoyou's heart was calm. Although he was a clone of his original self, he had an independent personality and could not empathize with him. He was just a little emotional. .
"Are you the descendant of Zongheng?" Hearing the movement behind him, Li Waner slowly turned around, her cold eyes swept over his face, revealing a hint of curiosity.
"I have met Your Majesty." Xiaoyaoyou walked up to her, bowed without saying a word, and then continued, "Yes, if there is no other Zongheng successor in the world, I should be the successor of Zongheng."
"You mean, there are other vertical and horizontal inheritances in this world?"
"During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the three kingdoms of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon participated in the struggle for dragons in the human world. The war between the three parties was endless. The founder of the Zongheng family used the art of alliance to form an alliance of Buddhism and Demon to fight against the Taoist sect, which caused heavy losses to the Taoist sect. After the world was established, the founder also The seal was hunted by the Taoist sect, causing the Zongheng inheritance to be cut off."
"Hundreds of years ago, I was lucky enough to receive the Zongheng inheritance, so I could continue the Taoism. The Zongheng lineage was divided into Hezong and Lianheng. What I got was just the inheritance method of Lianheng, but I never knew the art of Hezong. , if someone obtains the Hezong inheritance, it is reasonable." The flat voice seemed to be stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.
"Oh? How do you prove that you are really the descendant of Zongheng?" A strange color flashed in Li Waner's eyes, as if she was considering it.
"Is this important?" Xiaoyaoyou asked instead without answering.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Li Waner's face, "It's really not important." Although a Yuan Shen monk is not a cherished person among the three sects, it is like a trump card to other forces. With his Yuan Shen status, , except for the three sects, you can be a honored guest anywhere.
"Xiaoyaoyou, your name is a bit special." Li Waner glanced at him indifferently and said meaningfully.
"There is a lineage of Zhuangzi in the Taoist sect. Xiaoyaoyou comes from "Equality of Things". I was lucky enough to receive his inheritance. I can be regarded as a disciple from another generation, so I have this name." After saying that, Xiaoyaoyou looked at him. Looking from a distance, it is deep and restrained.
"That's it." Li Waner nodded lightly, but I don't know if she really believed what Xiaoyaoyou said.
"Mr. Xiaoyao, if Yuanshen monks join me in Dazhou, they can use the luck of Dazhou to practice and improve their cultivation. However, they will also suffer the consequences. They are responsible for the destiny of the country and are not allowed to leave or betray. I welcome you to join Dazhou, but I wonder if you can accept such conditions?"
"Your Majesty is magnanimous, and I am deeply grateful. I don't care about the cause and effect. What's more, I didn't join Da Zhou to practice."
"Oh? What does Mr. Xiaoyao mean?"
"Now is a time of great change that has never happened in the ages. The five turbid evil times, the heaven and earth are undergoing great changes, and the spiritual energy is declining. Even the three supreme sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon are not immune. Now the demon sect is fighting for the dragon, but it is just to harvest the luck of humanity. "
"However, the situation in this world is ever-changing. Even the Demon Sect does not dare to have the last laugh. The four forces of Buddhism, Taoism, demons and dragons stand aside and watch. Once they enter the situation, the future will be confusing."
"How come I am missing from this scene? This is how my Zongheng lineage was born. This is not only my idea, but also the inheritance of the Zongheng lineage. I wonder if your Majesty is satisfied with this answer?" , Xiaoyaoyou turned around and stared into Li Waner's beautiful eyes, his expression still calm.
Hearing Xiaoyaoyou's words, Li Waner felt inexplicably unhappy, as if she was being looked down upon by a higher-dimensional creature. However, she also learned a lot of news from Xiaoyaoyou's words, which she had never known. She had heard about it, and although she wanted to ask more questions, it was not a good time to talk in detail when they met for the first time. Therefore, she could only hold back her curiosity and maintain an indifferent attitude.
"I am very satisfied and welcome Mr. Xiaoyao to join Dazhou."
"We have met Your Majesty." Xiaoyaoyou nodded slightly, without saying anything, and still made a salute.
